I'm not particularly offended by this. I see that culturally the Japanese use of the Monkey is quite common, this is also the company's mascot. Now, if it were a Western country I would view it differently. Because, in the West such derogatory depictions of Black people are well known. I remember several years ago AT&T did a print ad of all the continents, on each continent they displayed an individual wearing customary garb. on the continent of Africa they had a gorilla eating a banana! Now that was racist.
